Setting up phone calls, returning gifts she doesn’t want from her bizillionaire boyfriend – – this one looks like a keeper. I might smell the makings of sexual tension, but sweet-faced Josh is more cutie-pie, than hot stuff.

After waking up from a tasty sex dream about her boy toy Kirby, Psuedo-Samantha, aka Nico (Kim Raver) eventually decides she’s had enough. But not before getting it on with him in front a window overlooking her office – and nearly being caught by her prickly-blond boss, Hector Matrick, (Julian Sands).

Timeout #2 – What makes this show so fun is NOT the outfits, the hair, the bad sets, and especially not the middle-aged hottie male accessories.

No, it’s trying to figure out the real-life people the characters are modeled after.

Hector’s definitely the mega-publisher Si Newhouse. And there’s no way that Janice Thrasher isn’t the shrilly viper Judith Regan once of her own publishing imprint, now famous for trying to publish O.J. Simpson’s If I did it book.

But I digress.

Was it the nearly getting caught doing-it at work or bad sex that lead Nico to make a phone call and get Kirby fired from his super-cool job as the assistant to one of New York’s hottest photographers, Lipstick Jungle’s version of Annie Leibovitz.

Victory amps-up the irritating factor insisting that Bizillionaire Beau Joe have dinner with her gal pals and their male accessories, “because they’re my family.” To distract her, he whisks her away to Paris and to Coco Chanel’s secret design studio, no less, and they roll around in an antique bed, until she insists they must return to NYC for the girly dinner.

The dinner goes swimmingly. Everyone’s in love.

Wendy Healy gets to channel her alter-ego Brooke Shields, as she has a mama-meltdown moment with her precociously sophisticated 14-year-old daughter Maddie. It wasn’t quite, Joan,”No wire hangers!”Crawford, but it wasn’t pretty.

Honored at a luncheon for “power-chick of the year” or power-absent mom of the year, or something, she has what’s called a “Bad Mommy Tsunami” and shrieks, “I brought you into this world, stop questioning me!” to Maddie in front of everyone.

They later make up, of course.

Between that and her scathing scolding of the overly-aggressive mother of a young actress up for a part in one of her films, it’s obvious that this “Pink Poison” episode was about Brooke finally having it out with her own real-life pushy-stage Mom, Teri.

Remember? Brooke became famous for making a movie about a sexy Lolita-esque preteen living in a brothel. Classy.

The remainder is a blur of the Ms. Big-ettes acting like the powerful, pathetic men they want to be:

– Nico writing a check to dispose of an inconvenient lover

– Victory feigning strength by dumping her loving Bizillionaire Beau Joe because he would rather not hang out with her posse

– Nico playing hardball with the evil book editor on behalf of her friend

– And the evening’s best “I really wish I were a man moment”:

Nico lying (with a straight face of course) as her boss questions her about why Kirby Atwood would accuse her of sexual harassment.
